Vintage IKEA Catalogs Prove Looks of the 60s and 70s Are Hot Again

— June 15, 2009 — Art & Design
These vintage IKEA catalogs are an awesome way to look at home furnishing trends from decades gone by. Interestingly, it seems a lot of the home furnishing trends that were in back in 1963 have made a comeback in recent years.

RoomService featured a collection of IKEA catalog cover shots including issues from 1970, 1989, 1977, 1963.

It’d be nice to crack a joke about the shag carpet coming back, but awesomely, IKEA already has the retro rugs back in stores!
